Can't believe I'm the first to encounter this problem but I have searched the internet, Softplan help and this forum with no results.  Embarrassing the number of hours on this one issue so I am asking the Forum for help.

 

I clicked on the binocular tool and was prompted "Select surface to look at".  Well I looked at a surface and now I want to go back to regular 3D Textured view.

 

Can't do it.  Nohow.

 

Help

Thanks, Henry

 

I tried that already, but for some reason Softplan has grayed it out, so it's not available to me.  This has happened before and I "fixed" it by quitting without saving, but this time I have a lot of work I don't want to lose.

Problem resolved by SoftPlan tech support.

 

All I needed to do was select a different function such as Edit/Edit item and that little bar changes to asking for input for the edit function.

 

When I find myself "in irons" after inspecting a surface, I can use Camera/Camera and click on any one of the blue triangles and regain a perspective of the whole project.

 

First experience with tech support.  Happy with their response.
